Virtual Barn Desktop Pools
Virtual Barn desktop pools provide users with virtual desktops built on a standardized, centrally managed configuration.
To streamline access and remove the need for users to choose between multiple pools, the 3D and AI Pool has been merged with the Academic Software Pool starting from the Spring Term 2026, creating a single, unified Academic and AI Software Pool.
